Actually Povetkin's team didn't want to go EBU route,too small for them,they at the time were on WBC route already.
Thompson lost to Malic Scott via ud,he dropped Scott once:http://www.allthebestfights.com/scott-vs-thompson-full-fight-video-2015/
Jarrell Miller will have one more fight in 2015 and early next year he will be on Sho Box card.His promoter thinks he is too heavy weighing his 280 pounds,260 sounds about right.He also thinks nutrition will help Miller to achieve this goal.Klitschko within a year is the plan for Miller.
In this training camp Povetkin was working on defense,counter attacking,switching and attacking from defense.
I am really looking forward to that fight. The fact Povetkin is taking a fight like this when he has a title defense lined up is risky but generally awesome, makes it feel more like Wilder is the challenger when you compare their fight history and current activity.
How that fight with Helenius would have been EBU route if Teper has the EBU title? Povetkin is already Wilders mandatory challenger for the WBC title so the challenger at this point doesn't matter much I think? (Helenius is also ranked by WBC) What I have heard is that Helenius was Povetkins first choice but Team Helenius just wanted too much money.
Never been KO'd? Only one loss and that being against Wlad Klitschko, which is a given if you fight him.
